Temporarily having the body of a woman would let me learn the answers to some interesting prurient questions, but if I had my choice of temporary body then I would definitely pick to be a bird and experience what flying feels like.

(I don't identify as much with my body as some other people apparently do. It's the only flesh I have ever been incarnated in so it has a lot of sentimental value but it fundamentally isn't me. It's a thing that I have.)

Yeah, but what happens to you if that thing breaks? ☹️

After having my body break, I learned both that I was more attached to my former body than I thought, and became acutely aware of how tied up my identity was with my new, broken body.

... it's a strange way to acquire an emotional understanding of identity and one's own body. Would not recommend. Take a philosophy class like a normal person, you'll be happier for it, I promise.

After mine broke i found myself more alienated from it than ever before. Being crippled fpr a few years while i rebuilt it was just like being poor.

Edit: like being poor, but less fake.

I love how I went back to the first panel and the wizard was already there, of course.

I'm cis but I'd still give it the old college try just to see what it's like provided I could be turned back later.

Very much this. You don't have to be trans to be curious. I'm extremely curious and given the chance would try all kinds of things that some people, who are less secure in their identity, would balk at.

But the body I would really want is just young, fit and healthy and preferably my gender asigned at birth, but I would take any gender if that's the only way to be young, fit and healthy again.

Sounds like it wasn't the first time he got ensnared for that.

I'd rather just be able to cast mage hand at will.

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

what would you use it for? maybe petting a third cat?

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Laundry, getting drinks from the fridge, cleaning the annoying corners of my room.

all good use cases, i must admit

Nah, this guy has purple robes, see? This is his cousin, Leomard Bowers

He's an Abjuration wizard. His opposed schools are alteration and illusion meaning he can't turn you into a girl or make you look like a girl.
